About Beth & Dream, girl.
From church volunteer to chaperone, to youth leader, Beth Andrews has worked alongside high schoolers and young adults four decades.
She is aware some need guidance to make it through their growing pains. Her mission is to help them find their own vision and clarity by inviting others to learn about her journey of prayer and discovery.
The Story
I have spent a lot of my life wondering how life could be more. I didn’t know who I was or where I was going. And I really needed to know. As the years went by, the stronger the urge became.
It wasn’t enough to be a daughter, a sister, wife, physical therapist, church worker, and youth group volunteer. I had to discover everything I had been made to do. I knew there was more. I could do more and be more. I didn’t look anything like the person I knew I needed to be.
Do you feel the same way?
The Journey
These feelings of needing to know more about me would drift in my mind when unsettled thoughts were high and get pushed out when busy moments of life took over my pondering about the future.
Finally, the day arrived when I had enough. The frustration grew large within me. I had to discover how to stop the struggle.
The Conversation
I started praying to God everyday. I long ago asked Jesus to save me, but I didn’t want God to guide me.
I said I was being honest, right?
I believed God created me and loved me, but I wasn’t sure how much He cared.
I decided to believe He cared no matter what happened. And I asked Him to show me everything He put inside me.
I determined the only way forward was to start trusting God, and to seek Him, the One who created me.
The Way
Somewhere along my life I decided God was hard for me to fully trust. I committed to daily prayer and our relationship grew into deeper conversations with God. I committed to a prayer journey with Him to find the way He created for me and for any girl like me who needed to know who she was and where she was going.
I admitted all of my emotions to Him, good and bad. Life didn’t stop being hard and challenging, but I gained the clarity about my life I was desperate to see. Actual vision of the talent in me emerged and ideas formed on how to use my skills. Finding out about me became less important as I learned about the magnificent, awesome character of God.
God answered my questions. The questions I had been asking myself for so long and as a struggler was unable to find the answers on my own. God made room for me to be His daughter from the very beginning.
The Truth.
The more I learned about God’s character, the more I learned about me. I discovered how much He is infinitely concerned and intervenes on my behalf. And then the miracles.
Our relationship continues to strengthen. I don’t want to work through life’s challenges without Him.
I dared to believe God is good. And to believe He is the answer to all my problems and never the cause of them. God is real, and He cares.
“No longer wonder who you are and where you are going. Believe God, tame your fear, discover yourself, and grab your life.”
It’s time to stop listening to the lies in our heads about God and the lies we speak to ourselves.
I am cheering for each and every one wanting to move further into life. “Believe God,” is a great place to start. Believe He cares.
The Values of Dream, girl
Believe God. He is the truth.
Tame your fear. Fear can be overpowered.
Know who you are. You are valuable.
Grab your life. Yes, that…grab your life.
